      I get the hint - shut up and draw me some pictures...
     
     
never said that, just said my picture didn't show up everything cause my lack 
of skills.

That's the idea and that's what i tried to make (the right part of screenshot 
i supposed to be trucated wall). However couldn't achieved doing it 
correctly.
I'll take a look at how other games handles it....

Difficult, since player and monsters are supposed to be drawn on top
However, for now, if you look at left part of screenshot if someone was on 
ground next to north waal, player upstairs won't see him. And if he was at 
corner, he would be half hidden by big wall. But the player himself won't see 
he is covered by a wall.
And i consider too something more clever like, the guy donwstair can see the 
guys upstairs if he is far enough. But still have to investigate.

Not an emergency :P still have the falling code to put in place and the 
multistages code is still not yet in CVS.

Yeah was considering blocked problem too. Perhaps slipping. 
The demonlord using, for example, 3 floors is a big big problem. In fact, it's 
the problem of standing it up from a ground position. And as far as i can 
remember, this was the biggest problem of ISO which concluded to *redraw all 
maps*
